Experimental development and testing of low-cost scalable radiative cooling materials for building applications
(Elsevier, 2021-09-15)
Urban overheating has a serious impact on building energy consumption. Daytime radiative cooling materials are an interesting passive solution for refrigeration. However, their costs and complex manufacturing hinder their ...
The Role of PK/PD Analysis in the Development and Evaluation of Antimicrobials
(MDPI, 2021-06-03)
Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) analysis has proved to be very useful to establish rational dosage regimens of antimicrobial agents in human and veterinary medicine. Actually, PK/PD studies are included in the ...
Gene Expression Profiling Reveals New Pathways and Genes Associated with Visna/Maedi Viral Disease
(MDPI, 2021-06-15)
Visna/Maedi virus (VMV) is a lentivirus that infects the cells of the monocyte/macrophage lineage in sheep, goats and wild ruminants. Infection with VMV causes a multisystemic inflammatory disorder, which includes pneumonia, ...
Physicochemical and Biological Performance of Aloe Vera-Incorporated Native Collagen Films
(MDPI, 2020-12-02)
Collagen was obtained from porcine skin by mechanical pretreatments with the aim of preserving the triple helix structure of native collagen, which was indirectly corroborated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and ...
Evolution of Microstructure during Isothermal Treatments of a Duplex-Austenitic 0.66C11.4Mn.9.9Al Low-Density Forging Steel and Effect on the Mechanical Properties
(MDPI, 2021-01-26)
In the last decades, low-density steels for forging have increasing interest in the automotive industry, and good mechanical properties are required for their real application. This paper describes the results obtained for ...
Iterative Learning Control and Gaussian Process Regression for Hydraulic Cushion Control
(Elsevier, 2020-07-17)
In this paper, we investigate on extending a feed-forward control scheme for the force control circuit of a hydraulic cushion with Gaussian Process nonlinear regression and Iterative Learning Control. Gaussian Processes ...
Length Absence of Spillover of Hydrogen Adsorbed on Small Palladium Clusters Anchored to Graphene Vacancies
(Elsevier, 2021-08-01)
Experimental evidence exists for the enhancement of the hydrogen storage capacity of porous carbons when these materials are doped with metal nanoparticles. One of the most studied dopants is palladium. Dissociation of the ...
Effective Implementation of Urban Agendas through Urban Action Structures (UAS): The Case of the Basque Country
(MDPI, 2021-05-27)
Cities are the main contributors to pollution, resource consumption and social inequalities. Therefore, they should play a key role in the path towards a more sustainable scenario in line with SDGs and different Urban ...
School Climate and Perceived Academic Performance: Direct or Resilience-Mediated Relationship?
(MDPI, 2020-12-23)
Although there is a growing interest in identifying the variables that enhance student school adjustment, there is a lack of understanding of the mechanisms involved in it during adolescence. Despite there being works that ...
Recyclable Epoxy Resin via Simultaneous Dual Permanent/Reversible Crosslinking Based on Diels-Alder Chemistry
(Wiley, 2021-09)
Taking advantage of the reversible Diels-Alder (DA) reaction, a simple strategy to obtain recyclable epoxy resins is presented. For this purpose, blends of furan-functionalized and nonfunctionalized epoxy resin are prepared. ...
